Art Museums in New York

New York State’s art museums are iconic. From New York City's MoMA and Metropolitan Museum of Art to the contemporary collections of Buffalo AKG Art Museum to Long Island’s Parrish Art Museum and the Hudson Valley’s Dia Beacon, New York is an art lover’s paradise, showcasing everything from ancient Egyptian masterpieces to boundary-pushing avant-garde works and modern art masterpieces.

The Munson in Central New York features an impressive collection with names like O’Keeffe, Picasso, Whistler, Mondrian, and Thomas Cole. Discover a world of art in an I. M. Pei building at the Johnson Museum of Art—boasting a permanent collection of 40,000 pieces, it is regarded among the nation's best university galleries.

Some exquisite art even lives outdoors with more than 100 sculptures on display in a gorgeous natural 500-acre setting at Storm King Art Center and over 250 large-scale sculptures amid miles of hiking trails in Griffis Sculpture Park, one of America’s largest and oldest sculpture parks. In New York's art museums, it’s always the right time - and place - to commune with art, indoors and out!
